“As we saw at Trump’s inauguration, Jeff Bezos is happy to glad-hand with sociopaths and fascists. While we should be happy to cut ties, Amazon did get tens of millions in tax breaks and subsidies from the Quebec government, and that money is owed to us.”

I’m genuinely sorry that 1,700 employees will be out of work, but Quebec should be proud that Amazon wants nothing to do with us.
